In the hot seat this week is Martyn Waghorn. Waghorn was a young pro at Sunderland during the time Browny was making waves on and off the pitch. Despite ‘looking after’ Waghorn, Browny did forget to tip him for cleaning his boots so there is a score to settle right off the bat here. With a path into the first team blocked Waghorn dropped down to Leicester following a successful loan spell and got his first taste of first team football under Sven Goran Erikkson. When Rangers came knocking it was impossible not to jump at the move even though they were playing in Scottish Championship at the time, witnessing a true juxtaposition of playing at Ibrox to teams who rented out their local pitches after matches. Returning to England Waghorn got to play under footballing legends Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney and encounter a serious array of young footballers coming through including the likes of Viktor Gyökeres, Mason Mount & Fikayo Tomori. 🌏Get an exclusive NordVPN deal here → https://nordvpn.com/cosh This is risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee!
